"Spain: AgrupaEjido confirms "good behavior" on pepper quotes"

The 2011/2012 campaign is ending and with it, also ends the frantic race for commerce companies in the province. According to Grupo AE, the objective is to offer, "the best prices to farmers that trust in AgrupaEjido everyday to sell their fruits and vegetables."

"We took the last curve in the race and our company continues to be a leader in cucumber varieties and categories".

A week ago "we analysed prices for the California variety, with data from the web portal www.agropecios.com, confirming the leadership of AgrupaEjido. Now we focus on the Lamuyo variety to also confirm a first position in the provincial ranking. We confirm that in April, the best medium prices were for green pepper, with 0.82 Euro per kilo. It's the best result, after analysing numbers in auctions in the rest of companies dedicated to this activity. The same for Yellow Lamuyo, while the Red variety reaches the second position".

The increase in volume in this campaign is also more considerable for this product. The growth in entrances is fixed at 25% for Lamuyo pepper, taking the previous campaign as reference. For California pepper the positive data also continues, with a rise of between 25% and 5%, depending on the variety: red, green or yellow. The same with the Italian pepper, that registered an increase in number of kilos sold of 6%.
